I didn't claim to give legal expertise in American Constitutional Law.
As for Popper, he enjoyed a thorough liberal Protestant upbringing. He thought that "minimal pain for all" was just what Jesus would have wanted - and I am inclined to think that he was right.

Re: The Orwell Thread
haithabu - " I think the underlying problem is that there is no longer a media establishment which enjoys the trust of both sides." Do you really believe that there was ever in history a media establishment which deserved the trust of both sides? It was in 1971 when Edith Efron wrote her g...

Re: Mennonites in the News
As for BDS, 1.I don't like any kind of Social Justice Warriorism, enforcing one's own moral convictions on others, not even in the form of boycotts or divestments (and of course not at all in the form of "sanctions"). 2. I am convinced that everyone must have the right to avoid taking part...

Re: Do you class the Muensterites as Anabaptists?
We must see here that the developement in north-west Germany was belated. And when the reform movement against the Catholic Church finally began, theologians tended to blend Reformed and Anabaptist ideas they had found in earlier books. A lot of the Munsterite ideas are, in hindsight, more Reformed ...

Re: Wedding Cake Case in Supreme Court
I pray that a rule will be established which protects just that party that has more to lose. This can be the one or the other party depending on the situation. If there is only one hostel in town and they refuse to give the homosexual couple a bed, the couple has more to lose. But if a baker is at ...

Re: Compensatory violent fantasies
Point by point 1. I'm writing a booklet which compares the historical peace churches as parts of the so-called radical reformation. 2. There we have to start in Bohemia. The Bohemian influences are constantly overlooked. 3. In Bohemia we see the first outbreak of violent fantasies as part of the rad...

Compensatory violent fantasies
Compensatory violent fantasies play an inevitable part in politics. At the moment. they are most visible in the Richard-Spencer variant of the alt-right: marches, salutes, "hails" etc., apt mostly for an army as in Games of Thrones. This not completely harmless, because it may be acted out...
